this sure looks like another bbb virus infected patient....answer a short quiz
- any reason to upgrade (dun tell me cos i see the lens then heart itchy...)?
- anything the current equipment can't do what you can do?
- what's your shooting style (e.g. Action, micro or landscape etc)
im using D90 + nikon 18-105 + Tamron 90mm + nikon 50mm 1.8
im not sure which 1 to upgrade first... both seem very tempting
18-105 -->> 16-85
50mm 1.8 -->> 50mm 1.4
which 1 sould i get first?
Hi bro. As for me, I had just upgraded my 18-105 kit lens to a Tammy 17-50 2.8 because I shoot more indoors and I'm loving the faster Tammy. Do you really need the slight 1.8 to 1.4 upgrade?
what do u want to upgrade?
faster lens or wider lens?
faster lens...u can go to 50 f1.4
wider lens...16-85
u can choose referring to ur preference.
*just my 2 cents*
You may also want to factor in what you normally shoot more often. If you have to shoot in dark lighting conditions more often, even if it's 1 point over 2 point, you may still have to get the 17-50 first.
i normally use
- 50mm for indoor (not very dark lighting) walk about
- 18-105 for my landscape and walk about and i believe 2mm more for wider will b very usefull for my landscape
indoor?? you need flash rather than f1.4 lens
2mm wider is not as significant as a 6-8mm wider (depending on which UWA you get). In fact, I think a Tokina 12-24 is about the same price, or even cheaper than the Nikon 16-85i normally use

You may want to rent the lens to see if its (16mm) wide enough, I'm loving my UWA.....if 16mm is enough for you, then go for it.. OTOH, I really doubt you need the f1.4 for indoor shooting. Like what voxies09 said, you need flash rather than big aperture...(esp at razor thin aperture, you may not have DOF, but that's depending on the effect you want).

so i get 16-85 will b better choice?
